I installed the Global Leaf springs. I purposely waited before installing my Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 with rear resi. The springs raised the rear height just over 3/4" I was surprised by how much of a difference it made. It was noticeably smoother over bumps and the front lost 50% of the porpoising...
I really like your build! How do you like the Maxis Razr AT? It seems a bit heavy, but it looks like a sleeper of a tire that may be a good deal. Does it make much noise on the road? How does it perform offroad for you?
Well, the sizing isn't a problem for me or I wouldn't be considering this tire. Neither is the fact that it's exclusive to Discount Tire. I'm in the South West and you can hardly through a rock without hitting a Discount or Americas Tire (being facetious), they are everywhere.
The question is...
I stumbled across some very positive reviews for the Goodyear UltraTerrain A/T. Apparently, it's a tire that Goodyear makes exclusively for @Discount Tire in limited sizes. It looks similar to a DuraTrac. Here is a link: https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/goodyear-wrangler-ultraterrain-at...
I just installed these along with my Eibach Pro Truck 2 kit. The SPC UCAs are a quality piece. Just an FYI, the D setting is for caster. Camber can be adjusted by loosening the big nut to slide the knuckle in or out.
Thanks much. I installed the Eibach Pro Truck 2 with rear reservoirs and SPC UCAs on my truck yesterday. I adjusted them to a 2.5" lift overall since the rear Global Leaf springs I installed raised the rear almost an inch. I'm fairly confident that 285/70s would fit on stock wheels and a 1"...
This is a great build thread. I noticed that you changed tires a few times. I'm curious about what you thought of the LT255/80R17 AT3. Is there a reason you switched to the LT285/75R17 KO2s?
I thought about the 275/70R17, but I don't want a load range E tire. The BFG KO2 255/75R17 is 32.1" tall and much lighter. I like some of the advantages of a narrower tire, but I don't want anything less than 32".
I installed the Eibach Pro-Truck Stage 2 kit with rear reservoirs and SPC upper control arms. It took most of the morning. I installed the rear Global Leaf Springs a few weeks back and it raised the rear over 3/4". I was measuring 39-1/8" at the rear fenders. As a result, I adjusted the front...
From my understanding, there is a difference in quality between tools manufactured in China vs tools manufactured in Taiwan. Those manufactured in Taiwan are supposed to be better. GearWrench is an example.
Try a local machine shop. They are great for such things. I had some bushings that I needed to have pressed out of the rear lower control arms for my Mustang. My local machine shop was able to press them out and install the upgraded ones for a reasonable fee.
I thought that as well. This particular dealership was owned by Penske and had surprisingly good service and a reputation for fair pricing. However, they sold it three or four months ago and it became Sedano Ford. This Raptor was the first thing I saw when walking into the service/parts dept. I...
Went to pick up some new front axle nuts from my local dealer for Eibach Coilover install. I saw this special order Raptor on the lot apparently waiting for its new owner. Check out the sticker and ADM!
